Instructions:

  • 1Sit on a flat surface, such as a bench or floor, with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground in front of you
  • 2Position the resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees
  • 3Keeping your feet steady, slowly push your knees outward against the resistance of the band
  • 4Pause for a moment when your knees are as wide apart as possible
  • 5Slowly return your knees to the starting position

Tips:

  • Ensure your back is straight and abdominals engaged throughout
  • Try to push your knees out as far as you can to activate the glute and hip muscles optimally
  • The closer the band is to your knees, the more challenging the exercise will be
  • Perform the movement in a smooth and controlled manner, resisting the pull of the band as you bring your knees together
